Spanish court frees some terror suspects pending verdict

Posted: 06:30 AM ET

MADRID (CNN) – A Spanish court ordered the provisional release from jail
of 10 of the 30 suspected Islamic extremists charged with plotting to destroy
the anti-terrorism court in Madrid with a truck bomb, according to a copy of
the court order viewed by CNN on Monday.

But five of the 10 will remain in jail on other charges, a court
spokeswoman told CNN.

In addition, the five others who will leave jail are under orders to
report every Monday to the police station nearest to their home, and to
surrender their passports and not leave Spanish territory, the court order
said.
